below 3000 meters.
Grade 5 - Spring (March to May)Strenuous :

if wild flowers, specially the rhododendrons make the hillside
above 3000 m. a hunting paradise during this season. It is

4000m, the Mountain View are excellent while the temperature is
quite moderate.
Grade 6 -Summer (June to August) Strenuous + :
